Taecmetothefloor 1,593 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 After B.A.P's latest single "BADMAN" was released, Shinhwa fans took notice of the similarities in the melodies between "BADMAN" and Shinhwa's 2008 song "We Can Get It On". The pre-chorus and the chorus of the two songs sound similar, and Shinhwa fans quickly rose to action, demanding some kind of action be taken for the songs. They emphasized that they weren't blaming B.A.P, but rather wanted the composers and producers of "BADMAN" to take responsibility. The similar songs have angered Shinhwa fans even more because "We Can Get It On" is member Eric's self-composed and self-produced song from their 10th anniversary album 'Volume 9'. Not too long ago, Shinhwa fans also noticed when "No Mercy" came out that the chorus was similar to Shinhwa's "Young Gunz".

youchewflop 1,027 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 As much as I dislike BAP, that mash-up/fuse at the end sounded tragic. I don't think there was anything wrong other than similarities between the two.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penis Intolerant 861 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 They emphasized that they weren't blaming B.A.P, but rather wanted the composers and producers of "BADMAN" to take responsibility. Well, at least for once they're blaming the right people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepidoptery 2,917 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The structure/development has similarities. Dunno if it qualifies as plagiarism. Protip, for the mashup they should have pitch-shifted one of them so they'd be in the same key.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryan 11,519 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 do people just like to jump to conclusions or what -_- for all we know, the composers could have bought rights to the instrumental and sampled a bit of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverlining 2,308 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Similar enough that I can understand why it's being turned into an issue. I think even if it is a coincidence its going to be hard to prove it since shinhwa isn't some obscure group that no one's ever heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Königin 386 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 If Shinhwa themselves say something about it then i'll considered it as an issue. It does sound similar but not exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
